About the Item

Hunt Slonem Original signed & inscribed drawing held in elegant hardback monograph, ca. 2012 Unique marker drawing bound in first front end page of lavishly illustrated hardback monograph Boldly inscribed to Heidi and Alan and hand signed by the artist with original drawing Publisher : Vendome Press; First Edition (October 1, 2011) 14 x 11 nches x 1.25 inches Makes a gorgeous gift: Original full page drawing done in black marker of a bird beak dedicated to "Heidi and Alan", and hand signed by Hunt Slonem. This drawing was done on the first front end page, adjacent to the title page of the stunning, lavishly illustrated with over 600 color plates, 2011 First Edition hardback monograph "The Worlds of Hunt Slonem." More details about the lavish hardback book with illustrated jacket and stunning color plates, that holds this drawing: The Worlds of Hunt Slonem investigates the life and work of this fascinating American artist. Once the enfant terrible of New York’s art world, Hunt Slonem (b. 1951) depicts both natural subjects—birds and butterflies—and portraits—voodoo saints and Abraham Lincoln–in his jubilant, singular paintings. Using multiplicity as a governing principle, Slonem has created a body of work as inimitable—and wildly colorful—as it is recognizable. This in-depth monograph, which spans Slonem’s boyhood in Hawaii to his training at Tulane University and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture to his life today, split between New York and New Orleans, features more than 600 vibrant illustrations. Dominique Nahas delves deep beneath the decorative surface of Slonem’s work to reveal what informs and influences this original and enigmatic artist. Praise for The Worlds of Hunt Slonem: "The Worlds of Hunt Slonem [is] an eye-popping survey of more than 600 illustrations by the legendary style setter." -Houston Chronicle

  • Big Sky Country (triptych)
    By Jennifer Lowe
    Located in Denver, CO
    Jennifer Lowe has combined the landscapes, animals and the people of her native Montana with a unique approach to painting. Born in Missoula, Jennifer spent parts of her childhood working in the fields of her grandparent's homesteaded property in Montana's Grasshopper Valley. Lowe's paintings are rendered in the vivid color and rich texture of cattlemarkers and capture the whimsical images from her imagination and the memories of her Montana upbringing. Lowe constructs her own frames and decorates them with a folk art quality - each of which carries an element of the painting that it is made for giving her finished work a unique character. Jennifer began using cattlemarker (an oil-based paintstick) in 1985 while a student at Montana State University. Since graduating in 1987, Lowe has been featured in 22 shows throughout the west. Her work has been shown alongside such well known Western artists as Thom Ross, Howard Post...
